Eid Mubarak! On this Eid-El-Fitri celebration, we extend our warmest wishes of joy, compassion, and unity to all Muslims. May #Eid bring lasting peace and prosperity to the people of Nigeria, and strengthen the bonds of unity across the nation.

Women innovate. IP protects. Africa transforms. 🚀 “The Audacity for Change” is long overdue. As Africa’s digital and creative economies accelerate, women remain central to driving inclusive growth and job creation, we must empower them with the tools and resources to thrive. Strengthening IP systems enables women to turn ideas into scalable enterprises, productive assets, and engines of national dev’t whilst safeguarding incredible innovations. As acting RC/HC, it was an honor to engage at the 4th edition of the IP and Women Business Summit. Collectively, @UN_Nigeria is committed to empowering women innovators, advancing IP protection, and amplifying their impact for Nigeria’s economic transformation. Congratulations my brother @tobi_moody and @WIPO Nigeria for continuing to empower, uplift and champion women creatives and innovators.

Change starts when we all act. @unwomenNG team explains how Rights, Justice and Action create a safer, just world for women and girls. #IWD2026 #RightsJusticeActionNaija

Muslim communities are observing Ramadan. Christian communities are observing Lent. This is a season for solidarity & generosity. It breaks my heart to see this period shattered by escalating violence in Lebanon. This war must stop.

Imagine a world where justice is accessible to everyone. Everyone including women and girls. When there is practical action that ensures justice is accessible to every woman and girl, we accelerate achieving the #SDGs, particularly #SDG16 &15. "The Cost of Justice" anthology unveiling underpins that justice is a social and institutional responsibility. Congratulations to @BeatriceEyong @unwomenNG and South Saharan Social Development Organisation on successful unveiling of The Cost of Justice. Together as one @UN_Nigeria family, we are committed to working with @GovNigeria, civil society organizations, dev’t partners, and communities to strengthen access to justice and protection for women and girls.

Between 2020–2023, 27,698 SGBV cases were reported in Nigeria, yet conviction rates remain low. @BeatriceEyong noted that justice is not just about laws & institutions but about people, dignity, and ensuring every woman & girl can seek justice without fear or financial hardship.

Today, @UNWomenng joined @southsaharan, with support from the @FordFoundation, to launch “The Cost of Justice” anthology spotlighting how cost, stigma, and lengthy legal processes keep many survivors of gender-based violence from seeking justice. #IWD2026 @BeatriceEyong

Human rights are women’s right, everywhere, every day. @ohchr_nigeria Rep Adwoa Kufuor in this video, calls for Rights, Justice, and Action to ensure every woman and girl can live free from discrimination, violence, and inequality. #IWD2026 #RightsJusticeAction @UN_Nigeria

Today, at the unveiling of "The Cost of Justice" anthology by @UNWomenNG & @southsaharan, @UN RC/HC a.i. in 🇳🇬, @ElsieAttafuah called on all stakeholders to move beyond commitments & focus on practical action that ensures justice is accessible to every woman & girl. #SDG16 #SDG5

Rights are not a destination to be reached but the foundation upon which every Nigerian woman must stand; until every girl’s potential is protected by law and practice, our national progress remains a half-finished promise. #RightsJusticeActionNaija #IWD2026
